Am I crazy for liking the song “Infra Red” by Placebo? It’s so catchy! BUT… As far as I can tell, it’s all about creepy stalker violence — um, not my usual cup ‘o tea. Have you seen the video? I like the beginning with the badass dude in the car, […]

You know what gets on my nerves? When people say they’re going to “give back to the community.” I don’t really know why it kills me so much, but it does. I mean, do people really even live in “communities” anymore? And when they say it, do they know what they’re […]

So I have this dress, and I wore it today, and I’m starting to notice that whenever I wear this dress good things happen. Maybe it just looks good on me and makes people like me, thus leading to good things. I don’t know. But I wore it when I was on that game […]

Yesterday I had an eye doctor appointment — and let me just interrupt myself here to ask you why we say “eye doctor” instead of “optometrist.” Why do we do that with eye doctors only? It’s never acceptable to say, “Aaaugh, I think I have a cavity. I’d better go to the […]

It’s

Friday!
I just want us all to start the weekend by looking at this:

And asking ourselves, What if these were our real friends’ names??? Life would be such a funnier place. Like what if I was having a party, and these are all the people I invited? This was my guest list? You’d […]

Sometimes my life is too ridiculous to even deal with. It’s the kind of thing, if you were watching a movie about me in the movie theater you’d sink way down in your seat and partially cover your eyes, because you were just so embarrassed for me.
Sunday, for example. I woke up and realized […]

It’s Friday, and the only thing I can think of to blog about is the fact that it’s Friday. I went out last night with some friends after work, and went to bed after 12, so do you think when my supervisor called me at 5:30, over an hour before my usual waking time, while […]

Here is an excerpt from an IM conversation I had with my dad the other day. But first you have to know 2 things about him. One: He is obsessed with history, to the extent that several of our family vacations in my childhood were “Civil War Vacations,” consisting entirely of traipsing through battlefields […]

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special report: Dan Hagen, a.k.a. the Danimal, a.k.a. the husband of Rachel Hagen, is completely insane. First, look at the lovely picture of him and his groomsmen with the rest of the wedding party. Aw.

You’ll be […]

Wow, there is so much to cover with you, I guess I’ll jump right in. Lots of big news today! Well, here goes:
One, I want to point out that in the future, time travel is apparently possible and used often. I say this because several people have emailed me from the future to approve loans […]

So today was Labor Day, and yesterday morning at the grocery store I saw a woman in the parking lot wearing white from head to toe. White top, pants, shoes, bag, everything. It took me a minute to figure it out, but then I suddenly realized she must be wearing every bit of […]
